Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They are very small, in fact they are 1/2000 of an amu. Electrons are negative while the inside of an atom includes the positive protons and neutral neutrons. :D

If a neutral atom has 22 protons within its nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

If a neutral atom has 22 protons inside its nucleus, it will have 22 electrons orbiting the nucleus.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest amount of matter that undergoes chemical changes and is made up mainly of subatomic particles: electrons, protons and neutrons. The atomic nucleus is made up of protons, with a positive electric charge, and neutrons, which have no charge, while electrons, with a negative electric charge, revolve around the nucleus.

A neutral atom is one that lacks an electrical charge due to a trade-off between the number of its protons and electrons. In other words, although it has an electric charge, it is balanced between protons, electrons and neutrons. So in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons because the negative charge of the electrons is offset by the positive charge of the protons.
